Non-minimally Coupled Cosmological Models with the Higgs-like Potentials and Negative Cosmological Constant

We study dynamics of non-minimally coupled scalar field cosmological models with Higgs-like potentials and a negative cosmological constant. In these models the inflationary stage of the Universe evolution changes into a quasi-cyclic stage of the Universe evolution with oscillation behaviour of the Hubble parameter from positive to negative values. Depending on the initial conditions the Hubble parameter can perform either one or several cycles before to become negative forever.Comment: 22 pages, 6 figures, v4:Section 2 expanded, references added, accepted for publication in Class.

Dynamics of BPS States in the Dirac-Born-Infeld Theory

The Dirac-Born-Infeld action with transverse scalar fields is considered to study the dynamics of various BPS states. We first describe the characteristic properties of the so-called 1/2 and 1/4 BPS states on the D3 brane, which can be interpreted as F/D-strings ending on a D3-brane in Type IIB string theory picture. We then study the response of the BPS states to low energy excitations of massless fields on the brane, the scalar fields representing the shape fluctuation of the brane and U(1) gauge fields describing the open string excitations on the D-brane. This leads to an identification of interactions between BPS states including the static potentials and the kinetic interactions.Comment: 19 pages, 4 figures References added, Typographical errors are correcte

When things stop falling, chaos is suppressed

Abstract This note is devoted to the investigation of Susskind’s proposal [1] concerning the correspondence between the operator growth in chaotic theories and the radial momenta of the particle falling in the AdS black hole. We study this proposal and consider the simple example of an operator with the global charge described by the charged particle falling to the Reissner-Nordstrom-AdS black hole. Different charges of the particle lead to qualitatively different behavior of the particle momenta and consequently change of the operator size behavior. This holographic result is supported by different examples of chaotic models with a finite chemical potential where the suppression of chaos has been observed
